Best of 2001-2009 by Rasmus

kurtkurtkurt:

Umm... The album cover looks kinda cool? It doesn't help their generic rock sound, but  I think it's the most positive thing I can say about the album. I suppose I can also say "They're a band who plays their instruments and form songs." So they've got that much going for them.

Stuckski:

I had to resist the urge to take a hatchet to my music collection before starting this music blog. I almost convinced myself that it would be preferential to admitting owning some of the pop albums I do (see Aguilera, Christina). Now that we've been through a few reviews, I realize that what I'm really embarrassed about is all these generic rock albums I own. I mean, the Rasmus? Who the fuck are these guys, and how on earth do they have enough music to create a 'best of' album spanning eight years?! They sound like a Linkin Park knock-off, in a bad way.

Your Favorite Weapon by Brand New

kurtkurtkurt:

Well that sucked. I mean I guess I've heard worse (Seether) but still pretty terrible. Biggest disappointment was Soco Amaretto Lime. I thought to myself "Oh, it's gonna be a fun upbeat song. Surely if the song title is a mixed drink. WRONG.
Stuckski:

I don't know what's up with this album, but I was bored to tears listening to it, and that is the only flaw I cannot forgive. I think it's supposed to be some kind of pop-punk or something, not sure. Generic, boring...yawn.

Fragile by Seether

kurtkurtkurt:

This album sucks. I can't bring myself to say any good things about it. I can't stand post-grunge, not one of those bands has made music you can get behind. Seether your music is BORING.

Stuckski:

Imagine if Creed and Nickelback somehow managed to have a lovechild. Thoroughly nauseated yet? Well the result of that union would be something not quite unlike Seether. At some point these guys got together and asked themselves one question: "How can we make the most money for the least amount of effort?". This is incidentally the origin story of most post-grunge alt-rock bands.
